Yeah, I'm interested in the all remains... Anyways, what do you mean
by a 'clicking and popping'?

! Well, careful examination of the E215 still looks ok
! 
! Cutting the yellow wires increased the fan speed.
! 
! Replacing the battery - unfortunatly did not resolve the problem.
! 
! Since I had been on vacation I now remember occationally a clicking
! or poping sound from the Multia while it was last up.
! 
! I guess it is dead :-{
! 
! Kind of sad to see it go - I have had experience on DEC's PDP-12 (dual
! computer wof PDP-8 and Link computer), PDP-11s, 
! DecSystem-20s, VAXes and a
! few Alphpa's (the Multia was my very own) (I don't include the MIPs
! processors with DEC name tags).
! 
! I do have several items:
! 
! o Should I be able to connect the SCSI drive up to a VAX or 
! MIPS machine
!   and mount the file system?  There are some configuration 
! and text files
!   I would like to have.
! 
! o Anyone interested in 64MB of IBM Parity Memory which I reciently
!   purchased from an E-Bay auction. 
! 
! o Anyone in the Chicago area interested in the Multia-166 box?
